 Have you removed the fuel line insulation yet?

not yet. Very busy working. Still have to buy the pair of rubber hoses and fittings. I think they ar 3/8!

I did received some stainless Steel bolts from zcardepot. Supplier is excellent! However, the head of the bolts he sent me are 13mm bolts instead of the original 12mm bolts. Should i stick with the original ones that are rusted and which head is 12mm or will this 13mm head fit fine?

The bolts are for the Thermostat Housing cover which i also orded in addition to the 160F thermostat.

The fitment of the new ss bolts will be fine.   They are just not factory correct if originality is a concern.

The original bolts were cleaned with wd40 and a toothbrush. They work but are a Little rusted. Should i use the originals instead of the 13mm Stainless Steel ones?
